What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug Several bugs now that abilities "refund" if interrupted. 1) does not activate during battle sometimes (even when nothing is interrupting like attacks or abilities) 2) does not activate and free Yoda from choke, freeze, etc. anymore 3) in addition to 
, sometimes even animation will play, and audio will play, but Presence does not actually activate 4) "BREAK FREE" ANIMATION IS TOO SLOW. Even before this bug appeared, if you broke free from choke/freeze, the time it takes for Yoda to fall and get back up is a waste. By the time Yoda is mobile again, everyone else choked/frozen is mobile again too.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? jonny_boy_705
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? Every time I play since the September update
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) Every time I try to use Presence
In what game mode did the bug occur? Heroes vs. Villains
What is your time zone? CST - GMT - 6:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Activate presence when under the effect of Choke, Freeze, Idens Droid, Phasmas droid, etc.it will not release you from the effect, will not even heal, the icon just animates and makes the "unavailable" sound Activate presence when blocking attacks. Sometimes it activates, sometimes it does not.
What happens when the bug occurs? i.e Yoda is currently being choked by Vader. If you try to activate Presence, the icon will "bump" and make an unavailable sound, and simply not activate. To make things worse, sometimes it continues to fail even after the immobilizing effect is over. Yoda will fall from being choked/frozen, and the same thing happens several times, and presence does not activate. i.e. during battle, you activate Presence, and Yoda will animate and you hear the sound of the heal, but the ability reverts to being available again and health buff never appears, wasting time, and exposing Yoda for attack
What do you expect to see? During a choke, freeze, or other immobilizing effect, when Presence is activated, Yoda will break free, heal all allies in range, and be completely mobile again. During battle, if being attacked or not, if other force abilities are being activated or not, if Presence is activated, Yoda will heal all allies in range.

Yoda is the funnest hero to play as, in my opinion, but Presence not operating correctly is a game breaker. Other bugs, like the one mentioned below, allow you to plan accordingly (i.e. not dashing too close to an edge with a drop).
Yoda, in general, has the most bugs of all the heroes/villains. His animations can be choppy depending on the nearby geometry or if he falls off a ledge, partly because of his size in comparison to the other playable characters (i.e. dashing off the edge of a platform results in Yoda coming to an abrupt stop, mid air, at the end of the dash, and falling down vertically, with no velocity from the dash. Maul has a similar effect, but not as often as far as I can tell. On the contrary, if Yoda dashes, followed by a jump, the dash-velocity carries over and propels Yoda in the direction of the dash when he jumps, even if the cursor is facing another direction. Dashing/jumping physics are done very well. Dashing off edges physics are choppy looking, and result in difficult gameplay).

Why does darth vader not receive a damage reduction while exposed by choke yet Obi-wan does receive one while charging his push
This is from the patch notes:
Darth Vader:
- Removed Darth Vader’s damage reduction during the Force Choke ability.
I'll get some information around Yoda's Presence for you all.
